Hey everybody! Can’t you see how pathetic this is from Microsoft???? Since 2003 they release the same old software with a modified home screen!
And even if WinMo 7 will be that good like the iPhone or the new Symbian, even then it will be released NEXT YEAR!!!!! NEXT YEAR!!!!!! By than Microsoft will be 3 years behind iPhone!!! What are they doing? If HTC would not do everything what it can to improve the rubbish called WinMo… well you know the answer.
Microsoft is pathetic!!! A giant company with lots of lazy employees who don’t do anything. WinMo should be buried and forgotten forever!

I still think WM is still the most powerful OS on market. But I chucked my WM phone away after 3 weeks of usage. Simply because it's TOO DAMN SLOW. PERIOD!

WM 7 makers are claiming that it's going to be faster.... Well it seems to me that it can't get any SLOWER! so more important question is BY HOW MUCH FASTER????!!!! Twice the speed of 6.5 will still be slower than any Symbian or OSx....

By the way, WM 7 makers claim that WM 7 will be touch friendly. Their words were "interaction with phone using only your fingers". Hm....
I donno about you guys, but I can't see myself using any other part of my body to interact with my computer other than my fingers..lol

Hopefully winmo 7 will be great unlike 6.5 which looks like a updated home screen and nothing else. It'll probably end up being released at the end of next year knowing microsoft, until then I'm happy with my iphone. Hopefully winmo 7 will come out when iphone 4 comes out so I can decide which one I want.

> In reply to Akhunzada @ 2009-02-26 05:20 from u1w3 - click to readIt won't be compatible, you'll have to find a pirated ROM, like past versions of WinMo.

With Apple at least you don't have to buy new hardware to get the latest versions of iPhone software.
